Reflected XSS via unescaped exception error text
Published Jun 15, 2026 · Updated Jun 15, 2026
Cross-site scripting in Slim Framework 4.4.0 through 4.15.1 allows remote attackers to execute script via crafted error text. HtmlErrorRenderer inserts HttpException title and description values into HTML error pages without escaping user-controlled content. Exploitation requires application code to pass request-derived data to setTitle() or setDescription() and a victim to open the resulting error page; default exceptions alone are not exploitable.
